cover from the USA

On 29th March I got a cover from the USA.

Two stamps from the set about Wild and Scenic Rivers (issued 21-05-2019) were used on it. The postmark is from Saint Patrick in Missouri and suitably celebrates Saint Patrick's Day. It is not very often that you see a green postmark. 

The card in the cover shows the San Felipe de Neri Church in Albuquerque. Albuquerque is the biggest in New Mexico, but not the state's capital. It was founded in 1706 by the Spanish governor of Nuevo México as an outpost on El Camino Real. The San Felipe de Neri Church is the only building in Albuquerque's Old Town proven to date to this Spanish colonial period. It was built in 1793 and is included in the National Register of Historic Places. 


Thank You very much Sam-Quito!
